OZARKS RETURN!,
By Plain Truth "Jamie" (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 13 (Audio CD)
You can't keep a good band down! After 25 years these guys just keep getting better. "13" is the perfect Album to display an overall view of the "Ozark Mountain Daredevils", musical style. This CD could have been recorded in 1974! Don't be mistaken, this isn't an Album of "Old" songs...more an Album of "New" songs with an "Old" feel. Each track displays a typical "Daredevils" mood, Laid back, good time with a few up-beat numbers, just to get your foot tapping a little faster. A quality Album from start to finish. The Rolling Stone Record Guide Quotes - "The Ozark Mountain Daredevils sound like what might have happened if Jed Clampett had brough himself the Eagles to make records with". Unfortunately this is an unfair comparison, and "13" proves it. This is an Album full of First Class singing and song writing even after two decades! A fine testament to a Band that has not given up on the music or changed to fit the 90's Countryimage. Bottom line - Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. If this Album was released in the 70's it would still be one of your favorites now. Re-live the past, enjoy the present and look to the future with "13".

It just goes to show you...........,
By Robert Rucker (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 13 (Audio CD)
that there is no justice way too aften in the music biz. Somebody in the biz ought to promote the hell out of this fantastic CD! When great bands that sold a boatload of records re-unite years later and decide to "do it their way" (i.e., produce it theirselves) and it turns out great, it should be backed and supported. But too many music execs have their head up their .........All of the Ozarks are at their best here (unfortunately, still missing from action is the great Randy Chowning----whose contributions on the band's first 3 albums are masterpieces). John Dillon's "Dream-O", "Over Again", "Tear In the Rain" are, as always, fun and beautiful. Larry Lee is back with a tour de force in "Where Are We" and a fine song (do they write bad ones?)cowritten with Steve Cash called "If It's True". The irrepressible "Supe" Granda stands out with "Standing On the Corner of Live & Learn". Steve Cash is at his funky best with "Bad Road" & "New York". And the rest.....well....yada, yada, yada, kudos, kudos. It's all great!! Timeless-melodic-folk-rock-country-bluegrass-rockabilly-swamp music. Music from the heartland. Hills, pastures, streams, and dive bars. Music from earth. One of the truly great and unique bands of all time. It doesn't get any better than this folks.

The Ozarks are back and Better than ever,
By
This review is from: 13 (Audio CD)
After standing on the brink of greatness in the 70's and seemingly plunging to thier professional deaths amid drugs and bad record deals, the Ozarks have proven themselves to be as resiliant as the mythical Phoenix, rising from the depths after two decades without a peep, the group proves with 13 that they really did have the talent to have held their own in an industry that cuts no slack for mediocrity. This album if not better, is at least the equal of ANY of their previous recordings. A must have for any fan. Now if we can get the remaining albums re-released on CD, the world would be perfect.
